Stayed here and delivered training and was very happy. Whoever put this hotel together had clearly given it lots of thought. Lovely rooms with a homely feel. The food was superb and beautifully presented (a little rich for the travelling man looking for healthy options but that is nitpicking). The training facilities were spot on as were the professional, well...

Twenty of the family had a lovely meal last Saturday 12/11/16 at the Forest
The service was excellent, couldn't fault it
Everybody was very friendly and professional
All of the family commented on what a lovely night they had
Thank you

When to this hotel restaurant today and ordered a minute steak (for £12.50) for lunch, when the steak arrived I genuinely thought it was a prank. The steak had been hammered to about 2 mm in thickness and was no more than 4 inch in length, more of a minute (minuscule) than a minute steak!
I have had many minute...

This is the first criticism that we have had for this dish which fills a niche on our menu for guests who are looking for a smaller steak and it is extremely popular, we use a 4 oz single muscle rump. I am sorry that you did not feel it was large enough or take us up on our offer...

Thank you for your review, I would clone Alicia if it was possible, she is so lovely!

On arriving at the hotel I checked into my room and went into the restaurant for dinner. I had eaten here before and was blown away the first time by the standard of food combined with the flawless service of the staff. My expectations were not disappointed. My room was lovely and spacious and impeccably clean. The breakfast was included...

Thank you for your wonderful review, it really matters to us all and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Used to love the food here but just had awful fish and chips. The fish had been baked and the batter was tough and inedible, petit pois and oven baked chips both from the freezer. It could have come from Sainsburys next door. Service wasn't good either. Won't be going back.

What a terrible title and one that I firmly disagree with, I have a wonderful team of hard working, passionate chefs striving to cook our customers great food.
You have left not having enjoyed your meal but also left us feeling frustrated and disappointed as you did not give us the chance, while you were here, to rectify anything.

We had an amazing day and we would like to thank the whole team for ensuring our wishes were followed and the day ran smoothly.
The room itself was magical and the set up throughout the day was amazing. All three looks (ceremony, meal, evening party) were absolutely stunning and the room was just right for our guests and our...

My wife and I recently stayed here for two nights, a Thursday and a Friday.
The staff were mostly young, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful.
Our room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable.
Our only problem was with noise.
The hotel is in a small commuter town, and directly opposite the railway station. A previous review on this...

Bank Holiday Monday evening meal was excellent. Delicious food served by extremely professional and helpful gentleman waiter. Nothing was too much trouble; he took time to explain everything we asked about in such a friendly and courteous manner. We noticed a discount on the bill and were informed it was a special offer for weekdays in August we knew nothing...

Thank you so much for your constructive review, I am glad you enjoyed your visit to us

I recently visited The Forest with my girlfriend, and was extremely satisfied with the overall experience. We stayed in Room 7, which was well-appointed and benefited from a ceiling fan to ensure that we enjoyed an excellent night's sleep - if you are worried about the hotel's proximity to the railway across the road then don't be; we didn't hear...

12 bedroomed privately owned boutique hotel with a restaurant listed in Good Food Guide and Michelin serving modern european food in relaxed surroundings. Buzzy bar with an interesting wine list and 3 real ales.
Great position for NEC and Birmingham International Airport, opposite Dorridge station with direct links to London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street....more less
